Jambomo Nov 2016 1:21pm, 3 Nov 2016 6,015 posts	Quote Pin Jambomo I just find it now all thoroughly depressing. Membership of the EU matters so much to so many people, its such a serious issue and we have this utter farce going on.

Small cabale of 10 pro EU Tory mps vote against, Lab/Lib Dem everyone else vote against, govt resigns, calls a general election... Corbyn massacred. Govt returned with 140+ majority.

Jambomo Nov 2016 2:26pm, 3 Nov 2016 6,016 posts	Quote Pin Jambomo They are all game playing - what is actually beneficial to the country and the people in it are, and always will be, secondary to party politics and what it takes for MP's to gain power, keep power and regain it once lost. They say what they need to and do what they need to to achieve these aims whether its actually in our benefit or not.

I'm sure most staunch Brexit Tories could be persuaded that it's worth letting it go for the better good of a massive mandate to (spread the most toxic of their ideology/reduce the influence of the state in daily life) with impunity.
